The vanpool service is a special community service offered to employees that want to form a group, pre-pay for a van to take them to and from work each day as a group. It has the benefit of saving wear and tear on a car, reducing emissions overall, and giving the workers the freedom to do what they want while the driver takes care of the serious business of getting everyone to and from work safely and on time. It's the green option and it's a smart option. Visit the vanpool menu under the services main menu for details and sign-up forms.
